In practice, almost all the IRA’s “clean energy” subsidies will still go to solar/wind, not nuclear. But by nominally including nuclear, the IRA got away scot-free with extending supposedly “temporary” subsidies *indefinitely*—until GHG emissions go down 75%, which means decades. — PolitiTweet.org

The IRA does nothing to decriminalize nuclear. Instead, it adds nuclear to traditionally solar/wind subsidies. At best this will prevent some plants from shutting down—but that could be far better achieved by eliminating the solar/wind subsidies that drive nuclear closures. — PolitiTweet.org

Myth 4: The IRA won’t harm electricity reliability. Truth: The IRA worsens 3 major factors already causing a reliability crisis. 1. Rewarding unreliable power 2. Prematurely shutting down coal plants 3. Forcing EV use on an already-inadequate grid It’s a reliability nightmare. — PolitiTweet.org
